noi>, five years Augustus Schoonmaker,

cate that he will be chairman, as the

he was elected Justice OF the Supreme

licans for reelection in 1885 and was de-

EDITORIAL CORR RESPONDENCE.
On last Thursday afternoon I left
Newberry on the afternoon train
bound for the great ;'State of Edge
field" One who has this trip to
take can realize more keenly than
others the Importance and great need
of the early completion of the Geor-
gia and Carolina Midland. In order
to reach Edgefeld, which is only
distant from Newberry about fifty
miles, I had to travel, from here to
Columbia, forty seven miles, from
Columbia to Trenton, sixty miles,
and there I was landed a distance
of seven miles from Edgefeld yet,
which had to be taken in buggy, a
total Of one hundred and twenty
miles in order to get fifty miles
from home. Edgefeld more than any
other place needs this road and her
people realize its importance to the
life of their town. I learned while
there that President Mitchell had
been successful in his recent northern
trip, and that the building and COM
pletion of the road at an early day
was assured beyond the possibility of
doubt. T found Edgefeld village
quiet, the excitement and stir incident
to muder trials and lynchings having
subsided; the Court Of General Ses-
sions having adjourned the early part
of the week. Judge Norton was
still there holding the Court of Com
mon Pleas. I finished my business
and returned by the afternoon train

country and is continually urging the
dismissal of German workmen. Dur
ing the first six months of this year
upwards of Al, 900 Germanshave been
dismissed from situations, and this, of
course leads to much ill-feeling. The
excuse given by the press is, that the
Germans have organized gigantic
spy system, at the head of which is
the German Embassy. The charge is
absurd, but it is one which is very
readily swallowed by the lively Gaul,
and which has been used with telling
effect against his own countrymen.
With such a feeling among the popu-
lace, there is bound to be, sooner or
later, some act which will embroil the
present government, or which, if it
resents the act, and Furnishes its own
subjects, will result in It's own over
throw General Boulangeris intrigu-
ing and strengthening himself with a
view of returning to power, and if he
does, the war party will again come
into prominence. Things are by no
means so peaceful between the two
countries as politicians would have US
believe, and war may come even this
autumn. When two dogs are growl-
ing at one another and straining their
chains, the least defect in link may
cause the chain to break and pretty
little fight to come off. Now there are
many defects in the chain by which
the French Government is holding
back its party to the fight.

The PLANTERS MONTHLY for july has
been laid on our desk, and as usual is
brimful of choice reading for all en-
gagged in agriculture. On the first
page the timely publication of the
officers and committees of the Com
pany has been made, for as the month
approaches in which the annual meet
ing is to be held, it is necessary that
officers and committee-me should be
ready with their special work. The
leading editorial on "The Future of
Cane Planting" contains useful sug
gestions as to how this business NAV
be proftably carried on. Two articles
ofreally valuable information to plant
ers will be found under the heads of
Diffusion Tests" and Expenses and
Production of Cuban Central Sugar
Factories" The former article is a
criticism on Prof. Wylie's arguments
for the manufacture Of beet sugar. he
being an enthusiast in this matter.
We believe with him that the day is
not far distant when beet sugar will
be a large industry in the United
States. But we must refer our read
to the periodical itself.

IT will not be necessary to publish
the details of the libel suits against
the GAZETTE which have lately been
tried before the Supreme Court. The
charge made was for libel, contained
in an item published only in an Extra
Edition, issued on the first day of
July, giving an account of the mass
meeting which was held on the day
previous, in which the Hon. J. S.
Walker and f. S. Pratt were charged
with having carried off public docu-
ments from the Government House.
This item was printed and circulated
without having been seen or read by
either the editor or the publisher,
until after the edition had been
circulated. AS soon as it was seen
by them an apology was made, which
was accepted by Mr.. Walker as ample
reparation; but it was not accepted
by Mr.. Pratt, who brought action for
libel. The suit against the editor
was tried before jury, who acquitted
him of all blame in the publication
referred to- The suit was then entered
against the publisher, and had it
been tried before a jury, he would
probably also have been acquitted, as
he was also ignorant of its publica
ton. But he decided to assume the
responsibility of the offense which
had been, as may be termed, accident
ally committed by employees, and was
fined by the Court fifty dollars. There
can be no doubt that a wrong had
been done; but where full apology
is made by the responsible officers, as
was done in this case, it is the gen
eral opinion of those qualified to
speak, that it covered full absolu-
ton of the offense, and should have
been so received by both, as it was by
one of the gentlemen maligned.

had been the usual mutiny shortly
after arrival.
Before the news had arrived of the
political changes here, Bush had
taken the Kaimiloa to sea, on cruise,
accompanied by a number of Sa-
means, and she has not since been
heard of.
Such in brief, is the news from Sa-

So THE Hawaiian youths abroad
have been ordered in many cases, to
return home. 1t was about time that
change should be made. The most
scandalous case of the whole lot was
that of Wilcox. He is now about
thirty-six or thirty-seven years of age,
and has been living at public expense
since August 18th, 1886. He has Ger
tainly had a long enough phil at the
public purse, and it is about time that
the young man should go to work on
his own account. Whether the edu-
cation he has received is likely to
stand him in good stead here, is ex-
tremely predetermined. The days Of
military fallahs are at an end in Ha-
wall; and what we want are men who
are prepared to do practical work
If Mr.. Wilcox and several other of
his confreres are ready for that, there
is an excellent opening for them here,
if not, they had better see what they
can do by entering the military or
naval professions in the countries
where they have studied them.
The Government have certainly
made good start, and we trust that
they will continue in the same good
groove. Hawaiian youths ought to
be well educated, but they ought to
be youths chosen for their attainments
and not through favoritism. The
proper thing to do would be to put
the distribution of such prizes under
the Board of Education.

The strong feeling in Germany
against France has, according to the
latest news, somewhat relaxed, and
this is somewhat due to the great
French fete day having passed off
without any anti German demonstra-
tions. The French Government did
all in its power to prevent any such
demonstrations by keeping large num-
bers of troops under arms. The Ger
man Embassy was specially protected
and large body of cavalry was kept
moving about the vicinity all day.
But popular outbursts cannot be kept
down by force of military for any
length of time, and from other news
we gather that there is a systematic
persecution of Germans in French
towns. The ultra portion of the
French press publishes the names and
addresses of Germans resident in the
